ACTING in the interest of impartial
Justice, as a free press should always
do. our reporter sought statement of
the Congdon case from one of the
parties concerned in the suit, and the
facts so obtained. then and now be-
ieved by US to be substantially cor
rect. We're published as fair and I'M
biased statement. Tothis publication,
the legal counsel for the stranger
made complaint of contempt of Court
on the part af this paper, perhaps be-
cause the facts were not procured
from them. or submitted to their in
spection before publication, or for
sooth, because it did not keep silent

upon the table. 1t contains large amount
of information il handy form with a care

a Business Directory, there are variety of
sketches historical and geographical. The
constitution is republished, though we should
think that has been so often reproduced that
every one must have copy. AIr. f. l..
Clarke contributes some interesting informa-
ton relative to Hawaiian Ferns. There are
also articles on the Jubilee, the annexation
of Ocean Island and many paragraphs OF
interest to the stranger, while the statistics
are valuable to the resident We have NOT
space to devote to a more exhaustive review

THE Colonization Scheme SO long
ago set on foot by Mr.. Dillingham;,
which proposes the purchase of large
tracts of land from Mr.. Campbell and
dividing them up into small parcels
manageable by an individual or fam
lies, seems to be taking tangible
shape.
In letter from Mr.. Armstrong, of
London. to Mr.. Dillingham;, the for
mer regrets that his time and atten-
ton having been, to the time of his
writing. so fully taken up by negoci-
ating the loan. that he has not, hith-
erto. been able to do justice to the
Colonization Scheme. but that he has
just hopes of being able to enlist cap
italists, when the plan is fairly laid
before them, who may bring within
the bounds of actual trial the idea of
turning vast grazing grounds to more
profitable use. as small holdings at
very moderate rental wherein awork
ing man and his family may raise
fruit. dairy and poultry produce.
The question as to the suitability of
tine various portions of the proposed
purchase has been already thoroughly
sifted out. The lands may be roughly
divided as irrigated, irrigable, or
simply dependent on natural rain
fall. In the first category, large
aereages are taken up for the cul-
tivation Of rice and sugar In
the second many offers are regis
tered for priority of claim, and in the
third there Is a vast amount Of graz
ing land, good for nine months in the
year.
Whatever may be the merits Of the
plan proposed. this much cannot be
questioned, that number OF compar-
atively small land-holders within easy
reach of market is a distinct advan
tage to the country IN which they may
be encouraged to settle, and therefore
if capital can be induced to forward
such settlements, every one, the cap
italist, the settler, and the public must
be alike benefited.
There are numbers of earnest men.
accustomed to the use of the spade
and hoe, ready to take advantage of
such an opening as is promised here.
Cheap land on long tenure, or abso-
lutte ownership is the surest guarantee
for good culture.
OF course, in the event of the pur-
chase of the properties from Mr.

can be no objection to them, and it
remains for the future to tell whether
they will be good Judges on the Su-
preme Bench or not. Better appoint
ments from legal point of view ought
to have been made, but better appoint
ments as honorable men could not
have been made. Whatever the new
Judges may lack in legal knowledge
they neither of them lack common
sense and mother wit, which can see
through great many knotty prob
lens that are sometimes obfuscated
by legal lore. I

The idea which was put forth by
the BulldiH the other day, that some
steps should be taken as soon as pos
sible, towards forming a committee for
the purpose of deciding what should
be done by British subjects upon the
occasion Of her Majesty's Jubilee, Is
an excellent one The celebration
must not be an ephemeral one, all
Britishers who live on these Islands,
want their children and their children's
children to remember the event. For
this purpose there must be something
solid. and solid work cannot be done
in a hurry. Early in this year the
committee should be chosen. and
funds for the celebration should be
canvassed for as soon as possible.
OF course, there will have to be some
outward show to mark the day, but if
our British citizens, here resident, are
only satisfied with that, it is a poor
compliment to their Queen or to the
teachings of her fifty years reign. We
can best honor the day by establish
ing some charitable work In the
town in England that the writer is in
timately associated with, the Newcas-
tie Jubilee Schools, to this day, mark
the tiftieth anniversary of George Ills
reign. Why not something of this
sort, though of course, so small a
community as the British on these
Islands could not found a school.
They might however, found a scholar
ship or two, to support girl and a
boy here for SO long, and then again
say at Berkely University, California.
Or again they might endow three or
four beds for INDECENT British subjects
in the Hospital. or a memorial win
dow might be put in the new Cathe-
dral. or a charitable fund started for
those who arrive here without means.
There are many ways in which good
may be done in Queen Yictoria's name,
which will keep her memory green in
Hawaii as long as Hawaii's mountains
stand For anything permanent We
shall have subscriptions from Queen
Yictoria's subjects from Niihau to the
southernmost point of Hawaii for
what is ephemeral, from only a small
circle in Honolulu. Let us take time
by the forelock then.

Campbell, the Company, as lessons,
will take care that none but bona
ride lessees be admitted No spec
ulators within or without to hold
lands for a possible rise in prices.
On these conditions and ON no other
can the Company benefit the country
we want a land owning population.
Great staples, say rice, sugar, and
we hope to say ramie. must be raised
by large corporations, but fruit for
home consumption, table vegetables,
dairy and poultry produce can be
made profitable by any industrious
family. Our Portuguese immigrants
are probably the most hopeful. They
are steady, industrious, reliable, and
every one longs to own piece of
land.
If this plan of dividing one vast
estate into a number of small hold
ings Is carried ont, the benefit to al
parties Will be incalculable.

The bench has, in accordance with
the law. been enlarged, and two new
appointments have been made. The
new Justices are their Honors r. f.
Bickerton. third Associate, and Abram
Fernandez. fourth Associate. Per.
sonally, both these gentlemen will be
agreeable to the community Both
have been long and intimately con-
nected with the Islands and have oc-
cupied positions which have brought
them prominently before the public.
The one as Police Magistrate in Ho-
nolulu. the other as Judge of the
Third Judicial Circuit at Lahaina
His Honor r. f. Bickerton. was
born at Greenwich, London, and was
brought up at st. Kilda, New South
Wales. He came to this country
in 1864, and became an employee
of the Kaalaea plantation, rising in a
short time to the position of manager.
After some years Mr.. Bickerton started
as a sugar planter at Waialua. The
seasons not proving propitions, he
gave up his venture and came to Ho-
nolulu, where he began the study OF
law, and in 1874 was admitted to the
bar. He soon established a lucrative
practice and became an energetic law
yer. On the resignation of the late
w. Claude Jones. in 1880, who became
member of the short lived Moreno
Cabinet, Mr.. Bickertor was appointed
Police Magistrate of Honolulu, po-
sition he has filled to the satisfaction
of every one in the city. He raised
the dignity of the Court, and his de
cisions have ever been regarded with
respect, both by the bench and bar.
His Honor Abram Fernandez, is one
of our oldest residents. He was born
at Qeland, Sweden, Nov. 4th, 1872.
He came to these Islands in 1888, re-
naming but short time. In 1S43 he
permanently settled here, commenc
ing his career in Hilo, where he was
during the celebrated Lord George
Paulet incident During his early
years Mr.. Fernandez was engaged in
variety of businesses In 1864 Mr..
Fernandez was appointed as Circuit
Judge, which position he resigned in
the following year, when he became
Inspector of Schools, a post he held
to the year 1870, when he was reap
pointed Circuit Judge of Maui. This
position Mr.. FornaLder. has held up
to the present date
Besides business qualifications Mr..
Fernandez is a man of mark in the
literary world. His editorship of the
Polynesidn from 1858 to 1864, showed
that he was an able writer, but it did
not foreshadow the greater fame which
he was to gain as man of research
and a inguist. In 1878 Mr.. Fornan-
der published the first volume of the
PolyHesian Race, the second volume APP
peared in 1880, and the third in 1886.
These valuable books, full of erudi-
ton, and in the second volume full of
poetical beauty, have won the atten-
ton Of sayants in every part of the
civilized world
Such then are our new Judges. As
lawyers they may be objected to, for
neither has had legal training in the
schools, yet both have large expert
ence in Hawaiian law. As men there

TIE appointment Of Mr.. Dayton to

matter Of extreme surprise to the com

OF the Office of Deputy Marshal he
must certainly be thoroughly &C

Court and. in the ordinary criminal
business of the Court, his experience
will stand him in good stead. But
